What do white blood cells have to do with pathogens?
White blood cells protects us (humans) by preventing pathogens from entering the body.
What do pathogens cause?
Many pathogens enter the body through the mouth and nose.The linings of the mouth, throat and nose produce mucus which can trap bacteria. This mucus is periodically swallowed and the acid in the stomach kills most of the bacteria. So that's how we get colds and why pathogens make us feel icky and ill.
How does blood help us maintain homeostasis in our body?
Blood carries oxygen in our body to different parts of our body. This oxygen is very essential for the functioning of each and every organ of our body. The lack of which can kill us. So essentially, without blood, our organs cant get the oxygen they need and eventually we would die...
What are biophysical interactions?
Bio (Life) Physical (Dealing with Physical laws). This is how the environment affects the life forms in it. Example: The environment, outside of your body, drops or raises to a level of temperature that causes you discomfort. Pathogens (Germs), inside a living organism, can produce a by product that can either help or harm the body in which it inhabits. Some pathogens are necessary to produce vitamin K in our bodies. We can cause chemical reactions in our bodies just through the way we think. Many people think, negatively, about their environment, and this causes chemicals, in the body, to be produced in excess, which can and eventually will cause our illnesses; STRESS. If we can affect our bodies to make us ill through thought, then we can also heal ourselves through thought or at least prevent ourselves from experiencing stress for very long. These are just a very few of the many ways environment interacts with life forms.
How bacteria useful to us?
Bacteria help to break down and decay material organic materials. They also aid with digestion inside of the body, and help to keep fungus in check.
What do white blood cells have to do with pathogens?
White blood cells protects us (humans) by preventing pathogens from entering the body.
Where in the body do acids protect us from invading pathogens?
Immune system,
What is the job of a pathogen?
They make us sick. They make our body weak and tired. The pathogens make us get cold and fever and more. It depends on which pathogens you get.
Has does turmeric help your body function?
Curcumin is a Natural Anti-Inflammatory Compound. It helps the body fight foreign invaders and also has a role in repairing damage. Without inflammation, pathogens like bacteria could easily take over our bodies and kill us.=)
Why does your body contain cells that do not belong to us?
They may be invading pathogens that make us sick or sometimes they colonize our intestinal tract and provide us beneficial nutrients such as vitamin b12.
Is there any advantage to a fever?
Fever is actually a method of defence used by our body to fight the viruses.Viruses need iron present in our blood to survive.By elevating the body temperature,the iron content n blood decreases.So our brain actually uses this method to kill the viruses, thus helping us recover.
What does the human skeleton do for us?
acts as support for tissues and muscle inside our body.
How does our body protect us if the pathogens get into our blood?
Directly through the bacteriophagic function by macrophages, lymphocytes etc and indirectly by immunity
The effect of acid on bones?
It can kill the chemicals inside our body!
Why is it important for humans to have lines of defense against pathogens?
Pathogens cause a variety of problems when they are inside our bodies. First, let's talk about bacteria. Most bacteria release substances which are toxic to our bodies: since this is inside us, it can damage our organs. Bacteria replicate very quickly and there is only a limited amount of room inside our bodies. This means that they quickly get overcrowded and then put pressure on our organs (further damaging them). In the case of viruses, it is extremely important that we can defend ourselves. Viruses enter our cells' nuclei and replace a part of our DNA with theirs. Normally, this is harmless but if the virus gets to an important part of our DNA, it can completely stop some of our body systems working. Due to all of these reasons, it is vital that we stop pathogens entering and damagind our bodies.
How would radiation kill us?
Radiation damages the cells in your body, which affects organ function.
If we are surround by pathogens why don't we die of disease?
Because our bodies have evolved to defend ourselves from these pathogens. We have an "immune system".
